Under the development of digital convergence, more and more mergers and acquisitions are taking place across media industries. In the past few years, most studies on horizontal mergers and acquisitions examine the concentration ratios or on vertical cases concerning entry barriers that block new entrants. Few research papers have discussed the impact of cross-media merger and acquisition and how to calculate the index. Thus, this paper introduces the experiences of index construction and application from the U.S., Germany, and South Korea, in order to provide a better analysis and concentration measurement index across different media for Taiwan.

This article addresses the development of the "Singing out Our Songs" movement in 1970s Taiwan. Drawing on the phenomenology of the scream, specifically on the Deleuzian concept of the Scream and the Lacanian concept of the Voice, this paper focuses more attention on the mapping of intangible affective/resistant power in the context. Regarding Li Shuangze as the leading figure of the "Singing out Our Songs" movement, we argue that the act of his creation deploys the very way of answering the social condition as well as the urgent issue of identification at that time. Moreover, his compositions as a silent tomb show the historical significance in calling the spectre for a telepathetic link towards the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
